About IL18

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

IL18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in epithelial barrier repair and Th1 and natural-killer-cell immune responses. Signalling through IL18R1 and IL18RAP activates NF-kB and promotes inflammatory mediator production.

Experimental context

Research context

IL18 is studied in innate and adaptive immune responses, epithelial barrier biology, pyroptosis-associated inflammation and cytokine-driven IFNG production.
